I suggest you ...

Have more than one playlist!

There are some podcasts I listen to while at home or driving that may not be appropriate for when I am in my office at work, and others I only listen to while sleeping. There are some I listen to with my daughter. Being able to make multiple playlists would allow those to be organized and avoid inadvertently skipping episodes I want to hear eventually.

The app allows multiple playlists. To do so, open the playlist Custom tab and select a category you want to listen to. You can add/edit categories to your liking. Feel free to send me an email if you have any question (Settings/Feedback)
Thanks
